When the ATF asks you do to do something without a warrant, is doing it really "voluntary"? What business owner would say no?

I suspect that the increased demand such as air conditioning or business-related electrical usage peaks during the daytime (business hours). In hotter climates, air conditioning is a substantial user of electricity, even to the point where

Having recently switched to a Macbook (from a _beastly_ Linux workstation) for Python and Mac development, it just feels ... better. It's better in most of the non-programming ways: docker is better on linux, and I miss focus follows

Or, worse, you have a Really Damn Good Year, but I ding you at your performance review. Even though you were the best you've ever been, and better than your peers, you weren't quite as good as I was hoping you to be, so ... sorry

That often tells What changed, but rarely does it seem to tell Why. When the logic changes (and tests too) because the sales team now needs Different Things, it's very useful to have a ticket.

I find it interesting that you felt it was pretentious. What made it feel that way to you? I ask, because I never felt like that. I felt curiosity about what the Real Plot was about, I felt challenged (and frustrated) by the puzzles, and re

I don't think it would be a non-profit. Rather it would be, "Here, Newegg, take this donation to your legal fund, without me having to waste your time shipping me low-margin products!"

I'd be totally fine with the idea that outstanding fines could be paid Right Then if they were more reasonable. It's the extra 25% that effectively Funds the Program that I don't like... well that and that it's effective

Americans buy larger homes, and junk expands to fill the allotted space. Then you move into an apartment, or the the Bay Area, and cry. ;)

They said they reset it, but I am surprised they didn't buy a completely new one to guarantee a different hardware fingerprint.

Finn is nothing like Jar Jar. Finn made me smile and root for him every time I saw him on screen. He was awkward at times (hey, not much social interaction since he was a ST from early childhood), but his heart was always in the right place

Growing up, my parents watched pretty much only PBS and listened to NPR / classical music. Riding the bus for the first time in middle school, I was exposed to a lot of popular things (music) that felt very foreign. Any joke that ref

I normally treat stars as a bookmark, rather than as a declaration that I believe this is High Quality Work. Rather it's more along the lines of "I want to be able to find this easily at home when I have spare time next week"

Have you tried Spectacle [0]? It has keyboard shortcuts (which you can redefine) for things like maximization, tiling on sides, and so forth. If you haven't tried it, consider doing so. It's really made my workflow much easier,

I'm a noob to Mac, but I found a "Messenger" app in the app store which, while third party, seems to be pretty well done and easy to use.

sheepish I do, but not often, and usually only when I'm trying to get them each to do things like clean up a room or fold laundry, or do X/Y/Z before dinner. Even as I say it I notice it, and wonder where the heck that cam

I often call my own kids by the wrong names, and they look nothing alike and one is half as hold as the other. I also tell them to wash their teeth and brush their hands on occasion, too. Frequency of these kinds of brain mistakes seem to

It would be nice to have a card that lists these landmark decisions, so that when pulled over you have a way to quickly have handy the names of cases. "If you don't let me search your car, I'm going to call in a dog ..."

Initiating a legal battle is not for the faint of heart. Few want to tangle with authority, and the kind of people that would implement + enforce such a thing (e.g. school administrators) are notorious for being petty and inflexible. More

As a parent, I see the intent there more as Parent > Non-Parent, rather than woman > man. If your child has a problem, chances are another parent will already have on their mind ways to help, or things they might need (water, band-aid

Is that significantly simpler than having them capture the output, and then make a Slack snippet? # on mac: Y-configurator --display | pbcopy # or on linux: Y-configurator | xclip -sel clip I mean, it's two steps instead

I would not be surprised if they did that to move money into the "costs" column for the movie, while still funneling value into advertising companies owned by the parent.

I don't know that it's meant to shill the product -- rather, that's the tool that he has handy. I work all the time with Python, and frequently open an IPython shell to do some quick math ("what's the average of 4d
